Application of volatile anesthetics greatly alters modern medicine. There are obvious advantages of volatile anesthetics such as strong anesthetic potency, rapid onset and elimination through respiration system. Isoflurane is one of the most widely used volatile anesthetics in clinic. Emulsified isoflurane, the emulsion of isoflurane, is a novel intravenous general anesthetic. With the development of emulsified isoflurane in the past fifteen years, its utility has spread from intravenous general anesthesia to various fields including regional anesthesia, organ protection, as well as anesthetic pharmacological study. In this review, we will summarize literatures of emulsified isoflurane about its history, clinical application and future potential utility in the above mentioned fields.
挥发性麻醉剂的应用极大地改变了现代医学。挥发性麻醉剂具有麻醉效能强、通过呼吸系统快速起效和消除等明显优势。异氟醚是临床应用最广泛的挥发性麻醉剂之一。乳化异氟醚是异氟醚的乳液，是一种新型的静脉全身麻醉剂。随着乳化异氟醚在过去十五年中的发展，其用途已从静脉全身麻醉扩展到包括区域麻醉、器官保护以及麻醉药理学研究等各个领域。在这篇综述中，我们将总结关于乳化异氟醚的文献，概述其在上述领域中的历史、临床应用和未来潜在用途。
